[edit] My wiki-interests
Solemn Declaration: I approve of, and strive sincerely to uphold, the Policies and Guidelines and the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.
The full list of my user contributions since November 16, 2004 when I first adopted the user name Historian is here:
Special:Contributions/Historian. My edit count is here.
Policies: I like to give headings to longer articles to improve their readability.
Here is a selection (just a few) of the wikipedia pages which I have started so far:

I have started a few more including such categories as "British people in Japan", "Scottish people in Japan", "British diplomats" (now very large), "British diplomats in East Asia", "Diplomatic incidents", "Old Cheltonians" and "Japanese national universities", though one or two of them anonymously before I very briefly used the name "Roxymusic". I have since settled on the name "Historian", which I prefer, and I intend to stick with this one. (After all it includes my first name "Ian". Neat, eh? ;-)
I have written quite a bit of the following pages: Scotland national rugby union team and individual players, Scottish Rugby Union, Kitakyushu and the wards of Kitakyushu, Treaty of Shimonoseki, Tsuwano etc.
And I have migrated quite a few of the VC holders from the Victoria Cross Reference website to wikipedia. (Duncan Boyes was one of these.) See Wikipedia:WikiProject Victoria Cross Reference Migration.
The following pages which I started have survived a Vote for Deletion (VfD):
Scottish rugby commentators and journalists
Andrew Miller (rugby player)
